At Ottawa beach this evening there was a good concentration of gull including a very co-operative 1st winter Thayer's Gull (found by Tom Hanrahan). Also present off shore was a leucistic Red-necked Grebe, very white and quite an odd sight to see. Other birds seen included 1 White-winged Scoter and 1 Black Scoter. Ottawa Beach is on the north side of Carling just east of Holy Acres Road.
